Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

And my head is full of snot. Undignified.

I tested for COVID yesterday, negative. Maybe I’ll test again today at noon. Don’t think it’s that, seems very head cold or sinus.

Our wings are not tired.

Sinus~ma! I hope it clears quickly.

Good luck mabelle!

I have my annual review today with my boss who I do not get along with. So that will be rough. However, she is handing me off to a new boss after this due to some reorg so I am hoping to grit my teeth and celebrate after. Fingers crossed. I’ve been so sleepy all week…I really need the sun to start rising earlier so I can wake up easier.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Well, the books did end.

Wait, what? I know the TV show will end after the next season, but I thought the series was still ongoing. (Outlander) Does this mean I should actually force myself to finish book 10, which I got about 10% into and more or less died of boredom?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good morning, and welcome Friday.

The weather has been erratic between downpours and merely cloudy, so it's been hard to get my runs in. I waited out a deluge yesterday and trotted out in the sunshine and got caught in the rain before I even got to the stadium.

I had just settled into the notion of cooking and cleaning and the rain just stopped. Bother.

I have survived my January of Many Events and Much Socializing. I'm glad I did every bit of it, but I'm planning on a quieter February.

Matilda's about to transition into baseball season, as soon as the weather lets up.

I also thought the books were continuing but the main characters are like in their 70s by now, and I doubt she wants to kill them off. But there was a whole drama of the 1980s too, with kidnapping and conspiracies, that I thought she was going to address? Conspiracies through time! Who even knows.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yeah, last I heard there was going to be at least one more book in the series.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wikipedia says 9 out of a planned 10 have been published. 9 is the last one I heard about but have not read. I think I stopped reading after 5. Man, the first one was over 30 years ago, that's wild!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know people have real problems, but I have to write my self-eval this afternoon. I already tried using AI and that didn't help at all.

My sympathies, Jesse. I barely have to do a self-eval anymore and I still hate doing it so very much. It does seem like the kind of bs AI should be good for!
